As per my father, him and his friend Charlie who I believe is a cousin to the jurkos via his mother helen cut out the cliff on the side of the dam to drain it. I want to say this happened in either 1979 or 1980. You probably already know this though. I will try to hit him up for any kind of story pretaining to this event.

I was living in Michigan when this happened and was not present, but Charlie told me all about it. My heart sunk with the water when I heard the lake was gone. Charlie said when the water level went way down a submerged log full of large water puppies showed up and all the water puppies spilled out of the log. I spent many hours in that lake swimming, fishing, skiing and hunting for turtles from a row boat. These are very fond memories to me. I remember going across the Lake in a row boat with John Jurko and Charlie to the old cabin on the other side. We had dogs with us jumping and playing in the water. They would swim across the lake while we rowed over in the boat. These were good times.
